Ready to Improve Your Volunteer Team’s Ability to Facilitate Better Healing for the Survivors You Help Post Disaster?
Then this could be the training manual you’re looking for.
This manual is a detailed guide aimed to teach and empower volunteers how to better help and equip the survivors they come in contact with.
It outlines a unique “Two Phase” approach to facilitate the healing process after a traumatic stressful situation such as natural disasters, floods, tsunamis, fires and more.
Post disaster work teams are often trained in job support (shelter and food distribution, health support) but not necessarily emotional or traumatic stress relief.
After traumatic incidents… survivors tell their stories…
The stories can be healing or reliving.
This manual teaches how to facilitate healing rather than reliving traumatic experiences.
